Florian Ochiana, HR Operations Manager with Lugera & Makler that recorded a turnover of €21.5 million in 2009, sees the unemployment rate drop as short-lived. “Basically, it’s about a combination of two factors – in certain counties, temporary labor demand has risen, which removed a number of unemployed from the official records and a part of them are no longer taken into account in the statistics, because they no longer receive jobless benefits”, said Ochiana.
As for the possibility of a further decrease in jobless rate, Oana Datki, general manager of Consulteam, the representative of Mercer giant in Romania said that only if the Government failed to pass public wage cut in the public sector, numbers would remain the same.
In April and May, the number of jobless dropped by around 76,500, to 701,854. The biggest rates were observed in Vaslui (14.10%), Mehedinti (12.99%), Teleorman (12.37%), Dolj (11.67%), Ialomita (11.35%), Alba (11.33%) and Gorj (11.21%).
